"If I had informed you in advance, how could I have caught you slacking off by surprise and deducted your salaries accordingly?" Freya joked.

These employees were all carefully selected designers. They could not only sell clothes but also design them. Freya had always regarded them highly and provided them with the best treatment.

Aya smiled and said, "Our boss is so kind. How could she deduct our salaries?"

Indeed, she wouldn't. Freya emphasized work efficiency and quality, so she didn't restrict everyone's freedom.

In her opinion, being overly strict with employees would only make them dissatisfied, and in the long run, it would be detrimental to the development of the brand store. Therefore, she never saw herself as a boss but regarded everyone as her friend.

"Aya is right. If I deduct your salaries and you all quit, what would happen to the brand store?" Freya came and sat down in the hall, giving Aya a thumbs-up. "The response this quarter has been great. I've seen all your efforts. So I'm here today to check on everyone and also give you all a raise."

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

It seemed that it was only a few months since the last salary increase, but this time the boss was being very generous and giving another raise.

As employees of Julia's store, they were really too lucky!

"Boss, I've only been here for a month. Do I also get a share of the raise?" At this moment, a delicate female voice came from behind.

Everyone turned around and teased the girl, "UU, don't be kidding. You didn't participate in the project last quarter. How could it be possible that you..."

"Yes, you get a raise."

Before the other person could finish, Freya interrupted directly.

She slowly turned her head and looked behind her. A familiar figure came into view, and then she gave UU a bright smile. "I didn't expect you to come here."

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

So... the boss and UU were acquainted?

UU came closer. She was wearing Julia's brand work uniform, a white shirt and a navy blue pencil skirt that hugged her hips. She had shed the greenness she had when they met in Stolan and now exuded a bit of the maturity of a professional woman in the workplace.

Her long hair was tied up, and she had an air of intellect and elegance.

This kind of attire really suited her.

"I originally wanted to do an internship at the branch in Stolan, but then I thought that the main store was the best place to get close to you, so I came here," UU smiled.

Freya nodded and asked, "So, how are you getting along? Are you used to it?"

"The sisters here are all very nice and take good care of me," UU really liked the working atmosphere here. She could maximize her abilities, and there wasn't that much pressure.

The key was that everyone here was a well-known designer, and she could learn a lot from them.

"Boss, although UU is young, she has a lot of talent in design. Your judgment is really sharp. You even lured this little girl from Stolan to Solterra," Aya teased.

Previously, they didn't know that UU was an acquaintance. When she stood outside the store and said she wanted to do an internship here, Aya, acting impartially, had her take the store's entrance exam.

Unexpectedly, UU joined the big family of Julia's store with her excellent works.

Everyone had witnessed UU's efforts during this period. Besides, UU was modest, eager to learn, sweet-talking, and diligent, so she was very popular among everyone.

"If my judgment wasn't sharp, could I have found all you excellent employees?" Freya said.

Everyone laughed.

It was their luck to work with such an excellent boss as Freya.

There were so many people outside who envied the employees of their store. The salary and benefits here were unmatched by other brands.

There were also many people who tried their best to get a job at Julia's store but were turned away.

Freya had said that she recruited people based on fate, so qualifications weren't that important.

She had her own unique way of recruiting people, and the assessment was also different from the norm. Many arrogant people thought it was easy but were often easily eliminated. Only those who truly understood her could be eligible to work at Julia's store.

"Boss, we haven't seen Sister Luo for a long time. Has she forgotten about us?" Aya suddenly thought of Mi Luo and asked.

Freya picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip. "She'll be back in a while."

Aya gossiped, "Did Sister Luo secretly get married and have a child with Doctor Yun?"

As soon as this topic was brought up, everyone leaned in closer.

There was no help for it. Women were naturally fond of gossip.

Freya smiled helplessly. "Although they haven't had a child yet, they're about to get a marriage certificate."

"Wow, congratulations to Sister Luo," everyone cheered.

Seeing everyone so cheerful, Freya's mood also improved. If possible, she also wanted to come back and work with everyone, design great works together, and make everyone look more beautiful in the clothes they designed.

In the past few years, she had been training non-stop every day, just to make herself more excellent.

Others only saw her current achievements but didn't know how much effort she had put in, how many hours she spent training each day, and how many hours she slept.

But at the same time, she was also grateful that she had met so many people who recognized her talents, which allowed her, like a thousand-li horse, to run faster and farther.

The identity of the famous doctor Lexi came from Mr. Gu, who passed on his lifelong medical skills to her. In addition, she had been interested in medicine when she was in the village before. She secretly learned a lot from the village doctor. And because she often ran in the mountains, she could see all kinds of herbal medicines. So she mastered the essence of traditional Chinese medicine in just one year.

After that, she met Queen Sally, who taught her martial arts, as well as the skills of disguise and hypnosis. Although she only learned the basics at first, through daily application, she gradually strengthened and consolidated them and became proficient over time.

The hacking skills were taught to her by Bradley.

As for her fashion design ability, it was inherited from her mother.

Very few people knew that her mother was also a designer when she was young. However, her mother was low-key and never showed off in front of others. Later, after she married Bruce, she focused on her family and gradually stopped working as a designer.

Since she was a child, she had learned dance and singing and was also very talented in painting, often winning various awards.

Being a designer had always been her dream, and she had put in the effort to learn, which was how she achieved her current success.

Freya was very grateful to her past self. If she hadn't put in 120% effort, she wouldn't have been able to stand at the peak of the world and become an outstanding person.

Although in the past few years, she had been living like a top, constantly spinning around various trainings every day, fortunately, God had favored her, allowing her to break out of the cocoon and gradually become the excellent person she was now.

Now she was gradually focusing on her family, but in her heart, she still yearned for the outside world.

Being a designer was the career she most wanted to pursue in her life, and she didn't plan to give it up.
